    My chicken wont support herself?

    This is what I think, her sister died suddenly and unexpectedly a few months ago and I think she’s been a bit depressed since and now she’s just getting old :(

    My chicken wont support herself?

    Her crop is empty, she won’t eat. I managed to get some warm scrambled egg into her last night and she will drink if I hold the bowl to her beak. She’s currently propped up in a towel in her enclosure as she can support herself this morning! nope I couldn’t get them vaccinated anywhere here...

    My chicken wont support herself?

    Good morning all, My 4 year old hybrid (last of my flock) has been deteriorating recently. For the past month she’s had a limp on her left leg, it got really bad and I took her to the vet I used to work at and we had her on some pain killers. For a while the painkillers really worked and...

    Drunken bird

    We’re still no better today. She’s sitting on her bum rather than her feet still and is so wobbly. She just seems so Off balanced. :(

    Drunken bird

    They can see each other and they have free reign of the garden so her sisters have been sitting next to her hospital pen. One of my chickens is an absolute nightmare and I don’t doubt she will attack her but once she’s back to full strength I’m hoping she’ll fight back. She’s not walking well...

    Good morning chicken friends. We don’t seem to be improving much with the antibiotics, so I’m guessing it’s not Mareks? I’ve just got some additional vitamin B complex powder which I’m adding to her water, she loves it because it’s sweet :love She’s stopped wanting to take meds, even hiding...

    Drunken bird

    Hi again guys! :fl Well I managed to track down my normal vet and took Edie down. I thought she wasn’t coming home with me to be honest. My vet is super confused, her heart is perfect, her crop is working fine, vent is clear. She says she’s never seen Mareks in an older bird normally only babes...

    Thank you for your replies. She’s still not improved, sitting down to eat but does get up when I go out to her but it’s awfully wobbly. I have ordered some more vitamins. She’s been laying off shaped eggs for the last week so not egg bound. Her tummy and crop feel fine. I tried to call my vets...

    good afternoon guys, This post is more for support for me dealing with this.... One of my hens (they’re 3 years old) has started becoming very wobbly. She’s normally a social chicken and jumps onto my back, sits in my lap and gets into everything. She’s still running around but she seems to be...

    What can I do?

    Thank you for this wonderful advice I’ll bear it in mind. Unforutnantly Emily just passed away in my arms. I had just given her some nutridrops in hopes she would perk up over the next few days and then treat her with Harkers. I also had some vermX pellets ready for intestinal health. She took...

    What can I do?

    Yeah judging by her poop and symptoms that’s the best diagnosis I’ve done to. I’ll give her the treatment asap

    What can I do?

    I’ll chexk her vent, so far from feeling around her she’s all okay. I’ve been giving her vinegar water and I’m waiting for some nutridrops to turn up today so I can pop them straight into her

    What can I do?

    She managed to lay an egg yesterday but has been lethargic for 3-4 days, can’t feel any eggs stuck etc. I’m dreading it being cancer.

    What can I do?

    Afternoon chicks! My 2 year old hybrid hen has started to become very lethargic. At first I thought she was broody because she’s just been sat inside. But now her comb is floppy and the edges are going blue. She has a very mucky bottom & she keeps stretching her neck and opening her beak. She’s...
